Chapter 311 Finalization of shareholding and rules

The failure of Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" in his previous life was definitely not caused by any one aspect, including the script, editing, and of course the timing.

The previous movie "Hero" raised the public's expectations for Lao Mouzi, and now there is another one released not long ago. As long as it does not reach that level, it will be a stretch in the hearts of the audience - not to mention these two The gap between the movies is not small.

And through "House of Flying Daggers", Lao Mouzi's shortcomings were also exposed, that is, he couldn't tell stories. To be precise, the stories he told could not achieve the effect he wanted.

His movies in the past few years, whether "Red Sorghum" or "Alive", etc. were all adapted from novels. After entering the new century, Hong Kong and Taiwan casts joined the cast, and the burning funds, in future terms, are high-end. .

There is no doubt that Lao Mouzi is capable, and he has ideas and skills.For Chen and Feng, his storytelling skills are still good.But without the blessing of a good script, he still cannot achieve his reputation in the eyes of the audience.

A combination of factors resulted in an all-round collapse.

Precisely because he knew these detours, Lu Heng wanted to make adjustments when he got involved. Otherwise, even if he made money, his reputation would be damaged.

You must know that in terms of roles, the head catcher he played is the male lead. Just like in the posters and publicity of the previous life, the gold catcher played by Takeshi Kaneshiro was ranked in front of the catcher Liu.

If the scolding starts then, with Lu Heng's current fame and influence, he will definitely scold him more than Lao Mouzi.

Returning from the future, Lu Heng also understands Lao Zhang's mentality now. He wants a small amount of money, but he also doesn't want to make popcorn.But when the artist thinks about it, he is like standing in the crowd when the fart comes, unable to enjoy himself.

"If you want to make money, make money confidently and boldly. Put the audience first, and being coy will only make the audience awkward."

Looking at Lao Zhang, who had an unnatural expression on his face as he poked his inner thoughts, Lu Heng joked half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Although you are older than me and have more experience than me, you still have to learn more when it comes to respecting the audience."

Lao Mouzi remained silent, lowered his head and walked aside to continue thinking.

Huo Siyan came over from a short distance away and handed the water glass to Lu Heng while dumbfounding:
"You, you keep irritating him like this and don't save any face for me. After all, he is a well-known director and an elder."

Lu Heng shook his head: "I think so too, but for him, it's useless to talk softly. Only strong medicine can make him listen. Of course, you must have a defensible reason."

"That's what you can say." Huo Siyan smiled slightly and took the cup Lu Heng finished drinking.

Of course she knew that Lu Heng had his own opinions, but she just wanted to give him a little reminder to prevent him from offending others due to his excessive success in recent years.

The filming continued, and the arguments continued, but most of the time, Zhang Yimou was convinced. On more than one occasion, after drinking, he complained to Lu Heng: "The director will be blamed for you later!"

"Don't be polite to me, what if I agree?"

Zhang Yimou's face froze: "..."

The original movie was set in Zhuhai, Chongqing Province in China, in a birch forest in the Uguo Forest Park and another place dedicated to planting sunflowers.

But this time Lu Heng is not planning to go abroad, but is staying at home. There is no shortage of places like birch forest in the country. Moreover, there are many places like sunflowers in Mongolia.Now that it's spring, you can find a place to plant a custom-made sunflower patch.

Although there are frequent arguments, the filming progress is still very fast. In mid-April, the planned content was completed, and the rest was left until August to start filming.

Lu Heng went back to rest for half a month. The preliminary preparations for "Caribbean 2" at Disney were also completed. Lu Heng took a group of people to Magnesium Country.

It's still the old team, Lu Heng and his trio again. Although Jeffrey is still participating this time, the big boss is not him, but Bill, who plays the octopus-faced Davy Jones.

Although there are some newcomers, from Highmore to director Gore, the team and the team are all experienced veterans. It is a sequel, and Lu Heng, who knows the previous life "Pirates 2" well, will naturally be able to shoot with ease.

During this filming, the cooperation between Lu Heng Company and Zuckerberg was officially reached, and his shareholding was less than [-]%.

Of course Lu Heng hoped in his heart that the more the merrier, but for this shrewd guy, asking for too much might be self-defeating, and he might even become a loser in the end.

So what Lu Heng had been saying before was that although he thought it was pretty good, he didn't have too many expectations for the future. He just wanted to provide some funds to support him.

Including the docking, negotiations, etc., Lu Heng did not show up, and did not even make a phone call. He was completely laissez-faire. Zuckerberg, who is not yet 20 years old, naturally had no doubts about him.

Although it is only a small share, no matter how many times the market value of Facebook is diluted in the future, the net worth of Facebook will still belong to a small group of people at the top in China.As long as their company doesn't collapse, there will be a steady stream of dividends.

Besides, for a company of this nature, Lu Heng, a Chinese, is not suitable for holding too many shares, which is different from Tencent.

Facebook is just a small company now, and Lu Heng's investment was only circulated in the circle, but it didn't cause too much splash. Especially compared with "Pirates 2" that Lu Heng and the others are filming, the popularity is not worth it. Mention it.

Especially when filming is being completed, not to mention Hollywood and China, entertainment media all over the world are reporting on it. After all, the first part has been successful, and the second part is naturally full of expectations.

It was already July when filming was completed. Lu Heng had picked up his parents and sister before that. After filming was completed, he took them on a trip to the Magnesium Country for half a month before returning home. As for the country, he has also arranged for people to take them there in the past few years. They have traveled to many places, and this time it was just a matter of course.

When he returned to China in August, Lu Heng only made a symbolic appearance in the company and never appeared again. However, Lu Heng attended several industry meetings, and each time he was involved in the formulation of industry-related rules.

After all... Lu Heng currently holds the position of vice president of the Film and TV Drama Association. Although none of them are full-time members, both associations are directly under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

During the rest of the time, Lu Heng occasionally lived in that courtyard house, but most of the time, he stayed in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing. After all, since the courtyard house was reported by the media, people often come to try their luck. As time goes by, it also more and more.

The interruption is on the one hand, but the main reason is that he is a capable person who works hard and cannot bear to be investigated in detail.

Because of this, Lu Heng had previously decided to finish filming "House of Flying Daggers" and "Pirates" and stop filming in the future. After all, he knew how self-media and the Internet would develop in the future. Seize the mountain as soon as possible and become a rich man who sees the beginning but not the end of the dragon.
